High License in Chicago.

Perhaps no city has given high
license more thorough test than
Chicago. Under the operation of
the high license law the revenue
derived from saloon licenses has
increased from 5000, 900 per annum
to nearly S2,000,0O0. The former
rate was $52 per annum. 1t is now
$500. Under the old rate there
were in 1882 nearly 1000 saloons
in the city. There are now $500,
not a very signal diminution in
number apparently, but it is to be
remarked in explanation that the
city has grown enormously in pop
ulation and in business since 1882,
and, moreover, a considerable area
of territory has since been added.
Had the former low license pre-
vailed up to the present there would
have been fully 5000 saloons in
Chicago. An additional significant
fact is that the brewers, who largely
control and influence the saloon
traffic, actually pay the licenses
for, should say, one-half of the
saloons. This is done by way of
advances, or accommodation. If
the brewers were to refuse their aid,
and decline to advance the money
to pay saloon licenses, | am salts
fed the result would be 1000 fewer
saloons in the city.

WHEN WOMEN DANCED.

1t is only within the past 500
years that women have danced
publicly with men. In Italy, how
ever, as early as the Thirteenth
century promiscuous dancing was
tolerated, although the church
sternly condemned the innovation
as immodest and unbecoming and
it was not at all general. When
Henry III of France visited Venice,
early in the Sixteenth century,
there was a grand ball given in
his honor, to which all the noble
ladies in Venice were invited. Moth
ing could exceed the splendor of
their dresses and the incredible
number of enormous pearls which
they wore but whereas 800 of them
danced in the presence of the King,
not one of them was assisted by a
male partner. However, Sanudo.
in that part Of his diary in which
he gives a minutes detail of the
progress of Lucrezia Borgia from
Rome to Ferrara on the occasion
of her marriage with her fourth
husband, informs us that she was
particularly fond of dancing the
salta and the bosola. Thus he tells
US on one occasion: My Lady
Lucrezia, the bride, being dressed
in the French style, in crimson
satin, striped with fish scales of
beaten gold, each stripe being two
fingers in breadth, and wearing on
her head a coil of peals of great
price, danced the salta with the
French Ambassador until it was
time to attend the performance OF
the "Miles Gloriosus' of Plautus. "
This salta is the original of our
waltz and was first introduced into
these islands on the occasion of
the marriage of Magdalene de Val
ois with James V of Scotland and
gave terrible scandal to the pious
folks of Edinburgh. The pretty
young Queen died few years later
and her demise, which was really
the result of consumption, was at
tributed to celestial punishment
upon her for the iniquity of having
"gymted i'm this naughty French
dance" The salta was very popu-
lar at the court of Henery VIII and
was quite as fashionable then as the
waltz with which it is identical, is at
the present time. Possibly it was
while danceing a salta or volta, as
it was indiscriminately called, that
this uxorious monarch fell in love
with Anne Bullen.

Latest on the Dude.

A pretty advanced specimen of
this class was paying court to the
daughter of a clergyman. He was
invited to dine at the house, and
the young lady assured him that
he had better prepare himself to
return thanks at the dinner table, as
her father always asked his guests
to do so.
81 really cawnt. l couldn't do
it, ye knaw."
"But you must" said his sweet
heart, "or your chances are gone"
"Ah, well, l will twy, but III
make an awful mess of it, we knaw."
Dinner time came and the cler-
gyman politely called upon the
Young man to return thanks, as the
young lady had predicted. He gave
despairing glance at his sweet
heart, folded his hands and said:
"Ah there! Jesus. Awfully jolly
spead. Thanks, awfully."
There was no marriage.

History of Postal Rates.

The full regular postage rates IN
this country were established In
1892, proportioned to distance and
not to weight, and varying from 6
cents for less than thirty miles to
25 cents for more than 45O miles.
These high rates almost amounted
to prohibition of correspondence,
and from 1900 to 1880 the increase
scarcely kept pace with the growth
of the population. In 1S45 the
rates were set at 5 cents for letters
weighing not moro than half an
ounce for distances less than 300
miles for more than 800 miles the
rate was 10 cents. The first post
age stamp in this country was is
sued in 1S47 and was a scent
stamp. Since that date there have
been 16O varieties of stamps issued.
In 1851 the rates for half-ounce
letter were made 3 cents for dis
tances under 5000 miles; and for
distances over 5000 miles in this
country 6 cents. In 1868 the rate
of postage was made uniform at ]
cents on all domestic letters not
exceeding half an ounce, and :

THE CONGO BASIN.

The Congo basin, so recently a
great white blank on our maps, is
now two-thirds explored. The
tracing of its wonderful network of
waterways and the study of its
teeming life are now far advanced.
We see on this map the names Of
scores Of tribes, numbering millions
of people, of whose existence the
world was ignorant five years ago.
We observe that the height above
the sea of hundreds of places has
been ascertained, and by studying
these figures we readily understand
how it is that some white men have
been able to live in good health for
years in the torrid region.
Though the Congo basin has no
towering Alpine region, its mean
elevation is more than double that
of Europe. Lake Superior, the
source Of the greatest water system
emptying into the northwestern
Atlantic, is only G9l feet above the
ocean. The altitude of the Congo,
only 800 miles from its mouth, is
more than one and a half times
that of Lake Superior, and its va
rious headwaters, from 1000 to p
500 feet above the Atlantic, pour
over many cataract 'and hiss
through many rapid before they
reach the sea. 1t is the lofty pla-
teaus of the Congo basin that have
fitted it to be the home of millions
of people, while the low-lying Am
azon valley, in the same latitude,
only about 500 feet above the sea
at the foothills of the Cordilleras,

tough. The Guachos of the Ar
gentine Republic are in the habit
of hunting skunks for the sake of
their flesh. The octopus, or devil
fish, when boiled and then roasted,
is eaten in Corsica and esteemed a
delicacy. In the Pacific Islands
and West Indies lizard eggs are
eaten with gusto.
The natives Of the Antilles eat
alligator eggs, and the eggs of the
turtle arc popular everywhere,
though up to the commencement
of the last century turtle was only
eaten by the poor of Jamaica. Ants
are eaten by various nations. In
Brazil they are served with resin
Gus sauce, and in Africa they are
stewcd in grease or butter. The
East Indians catch them in pits
and carefully wash them in hand
fuls like raisins. In Siam a curry
of ant eggs is a costly luxury. The
Cingalese eat the bees after robbing
them of their honey. Caterpillars
and spiders are dainties to the At
rican bushmen. After they have
wound the silk from the cocoon,
the Chinese eat the chrysalis of the
silkworm. Spiders roasted are a
sort of dessert with the New Gale

He Saw the Mine.

Five years ago a man named
Hobson, living in small town In
Ohio, invested heavily in Black
Hill mining stock, gravely asserts
the Dakota Bell. He paid the
monthly assessments regularly for
three years. When the thirty-sev-
enth notice came to pay, it was too
much for him, and he then took
the money that should have liqui-
dated it, and came out to Dead
wood. He soon discovered that
the mine was nearly or wholly on
paper. He called upon the presi-
dent at his office, and after abusing
him some time said:
81 have found out that you and
your company are frauds. You
haven't any mining machinery and
no mine that is worth speaking of.
| would like to ask if your company
own as much as single hole -
'.Oh, ycs," replied the president,
cheerfully, 1--WE do"
Il would just like to know where
it is, sir"
The president arose, showed his
hands PARKWAY into one of his
trousers pockets and said:
"It is right here, Colonel; the
breeches pocket of the president
There's where we put all your
money, and you'll think it is the
deepest hole in the world if you
ever try to get any of it out! Good

Strange Foods.

The old saying that what is one
mans meat is another mans poison
is realized in the opposite tastes OF
people. The Turks shudder at the
thought of eating oysters. The
Digger Indians of the Pacific Coast
reioiced in the great locust swarms
Of 1875 as a dispensation of the
Great Spirit, and laid in a store OF
dried locust powder sufficient to
last them for several years. The
French will eat frogs, snails and
the diseased livers Of geese, but
draw the line at aligators. Buck
land declares the taste of beacon
strictors to be good and much like
veal. Quass, the fermented cab
bage-water of the Russians, is their
popular tipple. 1t is described as
resembling a mixture of stale fish
and soapsuds in taste, yet, next to
beer. it has more votaries than any
other fermented beverage. A tai
low candle washed down with quass
forms a meal that it would be hard
to be thankful for.
In Canton and other Chinese
cities rats are sold at the rate OF oO
cents a dozen, and the hind quar-
ters of the dog are hung up in the
butchers shop alongside of mutton
and lamb, but command q higher
price. The edible birds nests OF
the Chinese are worth twice thell
weight in silver, the finest variety
selling for as much as $50 a pound
